Tranes weevil
Tranes spp.
Weevils and other types of beetles are called "mess and soil" pollinators because they often eat their way through outer flower parts (sepals and petals) and use blooms as bathrooms. Weevils have pollinated cycads for 300 million years, and today beetles are important pollinators of more than half of all flowering plant species!
